what would be the point of that? just let the computer tell it when to turn on so you dont have to worry about it

It may seem cool to have you fan ran to a switch to turn on or off anytime, but it becomes uncool as soon as you overheat your motor cause you forgot to turn on. Trust me, let the computer do it.

Don't need a kit. Just wire in a switch to activate the trigger wire on your fan control relay. (assuming you have one) That's it, your done

for those that say, "why would you want to have a manual switch - let the controller do it" - you are lucky. if you have had a controller/fan switch fail, you would think differently. i use them if im sitting in horrible traffic, waitin for a train etc. i would prefer to start cooling sooner rather than having the thing get pretty hot and having to play 'catch up'.

Bernie, as usual, is right on. tap into the trigger from your controller to the relay. a blocking diode might be a good idea too, but probably not necessary. very simple to do.

good luck.
